In-8 2 voll. XVI 467 (3); (2) XVIII 560. Piena pelle con tassello e caratteri in oro. Benjamin fu considerato il primo chirurgo scientifico. "Although chiefly regarded at a surgeon, Bell's interests extended to clinical medicine and pathology as well. In this treatise on gonorrhea which was first published in Edinburgh in 1793, he delineates the clinical distinction between gonorrhea and syphilis" (Heirs of Hippocrates 675). Austin 177; Evans 28259. Dr Benjamin Bell (1749 - 1806) was a Scottish surgeon. Bell was born in Dumfries and educated in that town. His family owned Blackett House in Middlebie Parish (Dumfriesshire), which Bell was later to sell to fund the education of himself and his family. He became an apprentice to a surgeon in Dumfries, before moving to Edinburgh in [1766] to study medicine at the University there under the tutelage of Alexander Monro (Secundus; 1733 - 1817), Joseph Black (1728-99) and John Hope (1725-86). He visited London and Paris shortly after becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. After two years, he returned and worked in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for 29 years and grew wealthy from private practice. Towards the end of the 18th Century, he published several important medical works. He suffered an accident which ended his medical career and took up farming at Liberton. He bought the lands of Newington in 1803 and was responsible for the development of the area. He built Newington House for himself just before his death. Although this house was demolished in 1966, the streets around where it lay include Blacket Avenue and Middleby Street named after the Dumfriesshire localities of Bell's youth. His son, George, commissioned architect James Gillespie Graham (1776 - 1855) to prepare plans for housing and the subdivision of the land into plots. Bell was the great-grandfather of another surgeon Dr Joseph Bell (1837 - 1911), who inspired Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930). He was also a close friend of the British Prime Minister, William Pitt the Younger- who had at sometime offered Bell a title of Lord. Bell politely refused.

Antica firma di appartenenza al recto del piatto anteriore "Watson Alcock". Prima rara edizione di questo celeberrimo trattato sulle febbri che colpirono sul finire del XVIII° secolo la Jamaica e le coste nordamericane. L'autore servì per due anni nel reggimento scozzese di stanza a New York e risiedette anche per un certo periodo in Jamaica. "The observations, contained in the following pages, were made during the time that I lived in Jamaica, or while I attended some part of the army in America. The materials were collected between the years 1774 and 1782" (Preface, p. iii). L'autore è riconosciuto come uno degli innovatori delle tecniche di cura delle febbri gialle. Si opponeva in modo deciso all'eccessivo uso del bisturi promuovendo tecniche di cura farmacologiche e preventive. Egli parte dalle osservazioni fatte da Ramazzini nel territorio modenese per cercare poi punti di contatto con altre testimonianze di "febbri intermittenti" segnalate in vari luoghi del mondo cercando un collegamento che ne dimostri la causa. Analizza poi casi pratici ed epidemie che colpirono la Jamaica e le coste nordamericane e nelle quali Jackson fu testimone oculare. Prima edizione in barbe. First edition a very good copy.

The final edition published during the author's lifetime, which Lind had revised and expanded. "Lind, founder of naval hygiene in England, wrote a classic treatise on scurvy, in which he described many important experiments he made on the disease. These experiments have been called "the first deliberately planned controlled therapeutic trial ever undertaken". Lind showed that in preserved form citrus juices could be carried for long periods on board ship, and that, if administered properly, they would prevent the disease. The application of this knowledge by naval surgeons who followed Lind led to the eventual elimination of the disease from the British Navy."?Garrison & Morton.
